Balsamic Rosemary Onion Jam

Balsamic Rosemary Onion Jam

This is a big one folks.

Perhaps the biggest one yet.

In collaboration with Anolon® and their Make It Yours campaign this holiday season, I’m so excited to share this recipe with you today!

But before you get distracted by the prospect of prizes galore, let’s talk onions.

Or, more specifically, onion jam.

It’s unlike any jam you’ve had before. Rich and savory, with a hint of sweetness and verdant rosemary, this jam would make an excellent side on your holiday table. Serve it with biscuits or toast; spread it on your turkey, swirl in in your mashed potatoes. It’s a versatile spread that’s part condiment, part sauce, and entirely delicious.

You know what’s amazing? Goat cheese biscuits with onion jam, that’s what. *Drops mic*

Balsamic Rosemary Onion Jam

What starts as almost 10 cups of sliced onions cooks down to a sweet, sticky jam. It may seem like a measly amount for all that time and effort, but that’s before you taste just how much flavor is packed into each bite.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced (about 10 cups sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, translucent, and just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, rosemary, and salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and onions are dark brown and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 40 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in a glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

  1. I’d chop the onions smaller and add some cornstarch to thicken for use over grilled lamb chops.

  2. I would probably do something like add booze. Probably brandy, stirred in at the very end. Or maybe something smokier like good whiskey. Then put it on a filet mignon. Mmmm.

  3. I get your RSS feed, too.

  4. I follow you on Pinterest.

  5. I would use it on a sandwich made with leftover turkey, homemade bread and  cranberry chutney–yum!

  13. Oh my, can’t wait to try this….with most everything…roast beef sandwich, grilled cheese, with goat cheese and pasta. Maybe add a bit of red wine vinegar to add a twist…

  14. I also like garlic so I would add some ground garlic, looks great!

  15. Also an e-mail subscriber :)

  16. I’d top a homemade bean burger with this jam….yum!

  17. I’d serve it on grilled spicy chicken sausages. Yum! :)

  18. Rosemary is my all-time favorite herb, and I could probably eat a huge bowl of caramelized onions on its own! If I were to put my own spin on this (although it sounds amazing as is), I might add some figs, since I love them with rosemary. This sounds like it would make a killer condiment on grilled cheese!

  19. Maybe add a few mustard seeds- either way I’d slather it on a thick roast beef sandwich

  20. I  would use this as is on mini pizzas for appetizers , it looks divine !!

  21. Honestly?  My boyfriend would eat this on anything.  I would keep a jar of this in the fridge at all times for emergency sprucing up of boring pizza, sandwiches, and perhaps even omelets. (Why does the word omelet look so weird?) YUM!

  29. I would add figs to it and serve it with some cheese! Yumm!

  30. I would make a pressed sandwich with the onion jam, gruyere cheese and prosciutto on a really good bread.

  31. We have an olive oil and balsamic vinegar store by us – I’d add a few different flavored vinegars and make a variety set of onion jam!

  32. I follow on Twitter and tweeted from atMBHinrichsen. 

  33. Probably an omelette with Brie and maybe bacon!

  36. I’d mix some Greek yogurt, cucumber, and dill for a little tzatziki, spread the tzatkiki on the the top of some French bread, and then add the jam! 

  37. I might try this with some pasta, pancetta and egg for a breakfast dish

  38. I follow Love and Olive Oil on Pinterest as well as Analon.
    And I can’t get over what a fantastic give-away this is!! Thank you both for this chance to win. I have never in my life had a quality set of pans and I am 62 years old.

  39. I would add clove. I love the taste and smell of clove. My mother made a wonderful tomato jam with clove that I literally ate out of the jar with a spoon. I don’t know if the clove would work well with this recipe, but I’d give it a try and find out. Thanks much for the wonderful giveaway.
